About Solar Options for Schools
We are a social impact driven company with a mission to help society reach net zero faster by providing solar power and energy education to schools.
We believe that schools have a role to pay to help us decarbonise faster. So, we fund energy and climate education opportunities using the sun. To that end, we help fund, develop, install and maintain solar PV systems on schools, and provide energy and carbon education to students, teachers, and non-teaching staff.
We currently look after over two hundred solar schools internationally and are working to encourage thousands more.
Our vision is to develop software, funding and education to enable up to 2,000 schools a week to go solar globally. Our website and mobile app allow students to learn about energy, carbon, and climate change and they can even develop a solar project themselves on their own schools.

We are looking for students with a passion for energy and/or sustainability who want to making a tangible difference to the UK’s goal of reaching net zero carbon by 2050.
You will have a polite, caring and adaptive attitude, combined with creative energy and excellent listening skills that will enable you to think on your feet and respond to the needs of both primary and secondary aged students, or specific event audiences.
You may have experience of climate education, with a good basic understanding of carbon and renewable energy, especially solar PV, although this is not essential as training will be provided.
Your core duties as a volunteer will be:
- To be a proud Ambassador for and active promoter of the Solar for Schools mission and vision
- To learn how to utilise Solar for Schools' digital resources to help promote that mission and vision
- To shadow and support our experienced educators on education visits in schools
